Twitter appears to have restored the functionality for logged-out users to view individual tweets, according to TechCrunch and Engadget.

 Last Friday, the platform began barring non-logged-in users from seeing public tweets and profiles on the platform.

According to Twitter owner Elon Musk, restricting access was a "temporary emergency measure" to counteract data pillaging, which was "degrading service for normal users."

  • As of Wednesday, Twitter is now letting users view tweets without logging in, though tweet feeds for profiles are still blocked for non-logged-in users.
  • Tweet previews in iMessage are also reportedly functioning for some users.

In addition to tweet visibility restrictions, Twitter is limiting daily tweet access, citing a need to combat harmful bots that scrape the platform for data.

  • The limits are currently 1,000 posts per day for unverified users and 10,000 posts per day for verified users.
  • Twitter claims the change only impacts a small percentage of users.
